India-Ukraine ties
In a phone call with Zelenskyy in March this year, Modi had discussed ways to strengthen India-Ukraine partnership and reiterated the nation's people-centric approach and calls for dialogue and diplomacy for the resolution of the ongoing conflict.
India would continue to do everything within its means to support a peaceful solution, he had remarked.
Modi had also travelled to Moscow earlier this month on a two-day visit.
During his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Modi stressed no solution to the violence could be found on the battlefield. "India has always called for respecting the United Nations Charter, including territorial integrity and sovereignty. There is no solution on the battlefield. Dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward," he had said.
